Designed for the busy mobile professional, the Fujitsu External Hard
Disk Drive comes equipped with all of the necessary components to enable
users to take their data wherever they go. The slim device includes an
integrated USB 2.0 cable to allow for quick and easy connectivity.
Additionally, because the product is USB bus-powered, a laptop can lend the
device the necessary power without external resources required. Users can
also be assured that their data will be protected with the distinctive
16-point omnidirectional shock mounting design, which helps to reduce the
effect of impact.
For extra security and backup convenience, the Fujitsu External HDDs
are also bundled with a comprehensive Data Protection Suite for PC.
Apricorn Inc.'s EZ Gig II(R) for Windows(R) enables a system to be backed
up as an image or an exact clone, while at the same time permitting backups
to be compressed into a single file, allowing individual files to be
restored, and providing security with password protection. There is also
the Cryptainer(R) encryption program that helps guarantee privacy, with the
AES 256 or Blowfish(R)448 bit encryption.
Finally, to ensure data integrity, Second Copy(R) 2000 synchronizing
software coordinates file sharing and backup between multiple computers.
"We are proud to launch the world's highest capacity 2.5" External HDD
product into the marketplace at a time when consumers are demanding more
storage, compact designs, and features that advance the level of data
security," said Lorne Wilson, senior vice president, sales and marketing,

storage solutions."

interface, the new Fujitsu device is an excellent solution for backing up
and storing work files, MP3s, videos and photos. Additionally, the external
hard disk drive can be utilized as a backup application for an entire PC
